I have a 1977 Mercedes O305 bus and was wondering if any out there have any experience with these? I am looking at stripping down and somehow "tightening up" the steering box.
Maybe someone knows where I may find info regarding these very common buses.

Your best bet in getting an answer is from someone in Europe or the Uk since there are lots of them over there. I do have a website for a Mercedes commerical 'breakers' site in the UK for used parts:

Also try these people, here in the US:

They may be the only US source for parts. They may also be able to give you technical advice.
